Hi there! My name is Zion, and I’m on the lookout for my forever home. My journey hasn’t been an easy one; as a baby, I was left in someone's fence overnight and they found me on a really cold morning and I was starving to death.
The nice rescue lady thought I needed a super special name given how traumatized I was and how far I have come so she named me Zion. I don't understand it all but she said scripture refers to Zion as the "City of Holiness" and a "city of refuge" where the Lord protects his people from the evils of the world. The nice family that found me in the fence provided refuge for me as did each of my wonderful fosters, Edie and Anita. All of these wonderful people have protected me from the evil meant to hurt me and now I am healing and longing for my forever home.
While I am still healing from the trauma of my past, every day I’m getting stronger and more confident. I thrive best with furry siblings around; they help me feel safe and secure. My favorite things in the world are snuggling in bed and letting out my sweet side. If I get nervous, you’ll find me retreating to my cozy spot in my favorite human bed, but don’t worry—I’m crate trained, too!
I have the bestest foster sibling Nova, who is about my age and we also have 2 furry felines and I am awesome with them! So, if you have other dogs or cats, I am perfect for you!
I love being outdoors and am a pro on the leash. Car rides are another joy of mine—I can't wait to go on adventures with you! Most importantly, I’m looking for a family that will let me be myself and continue this beautiful journey of healing.
I’m incredibly thankful for my amazing foster families, especially Edie and Anita, who have helped me decompress and learn how to trust again. Now, I’m ready to find my own special family who will show me all the love I truly deserve. If that sounds like you, I can’t wait to meet you!
